mama: ezra, do you prefer to sit in front (with papa) or to sit at the back with mama next to you? 

ezra: i prefer to sit in front when you are driving and you stop at the traffic light and hold my hand. and i also prefer when you sit at the back and hold my hand. 

mama: awww my heart is melting!
